Nithya Menen will play a pivotal role in Akshay Kumar's upcoming movie Mission Mangal.

Malayalam actor Srinda tied the knot with director Siju S Bava on Sunday in a private ceremony.

Nithya Menen shared that she chose not to be a part of a grouping as she prefers to fight it "silently". Nithya, who has starred in Malayalam films like Akasha Gopuram, Apoorvaragam and Ustad Hotel, will be seen in Akshay Kumar starrer Mangal Mission.

The pre-production work of Randamoozham suffered a setback when writer MT Vasudevan Nair quit the project recently.

Drama is written and directed by Ranjith and the film marks his second outing with Mohanlal after Loham which came out in 2015.

In a statement, the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) has alleged that the Malayalam film industry has not benefited from the PoSH Act due to the noncompliance of the film organisations with the law.

Parvathy said WCC members are subjected to never-ending online attacks, including death and rape threats from fans of Malayalam superstars

Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) expressed disappointment over AMMA’s decision to not take strict action against Malayalam actor Dileep.

In his resignation letter, Dileep said he had made up his mind not to be a member of any film body until his innocence in the sexual assault case was proved in a court of law.

Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly's latest offering Kayamkulam Kochunni is having a great run at the box office. The movie's worldwide collection is Rs 42 crore and this is remarkable, considering that the movie has been running in theatres for only a week.

At a press conference held today, Mohanlal said that he personally called Dileep and asked him to tender his resignation.

Malayalam actors Kavya Madhavan and Dileep welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on Friday.

AMMA secretary Siddique also warned that action will be taken against certain WCC members for making distasteful comments about AMMA president and actor Mohanlal.

Nivin Pauly had played one of the main roles in Vineeth Sreenivasan's directional debut Malarvaadi Arts Club in 2010. He is now set to star in Love Action Drama, helmed by Vineeth's brother Dhyan Sreenivasan.

Kayamkulam Kochunni box office: Kayamkulam Kochunni is the biggest film in Nivin Pauly's career in terms of budget and its screen count. The film was made with a budget of Rs 45 crore.

Revathy has clarified that the woman she spoke about in the WCC press conference on Saturday was not actually sexually harassed. During the press meet, Revathy spoke about a woman who knocked at her door late at night needing help.

The WCC members alleged that the leadership of AMMA never wanted to do anything for the survivor and kept exploiting the loopholes in the bye-laws they themselves made to pass the buck.

WCC press meet: Here's what members of Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) are saying at a press conference in Kochi.

Kayamkulam Kochunni box office collection: Nivin Pauly's Kayamkulam Kochunni was released on 350 plus screens making it the biggest release in Kerala by the virtue of its screen count.

Citing delay in the film going on floors, screenwriter MT Vasudevan Nair on Thursday exited much-awaited Malayalam film Randamoozham. The Mohanlal film is touted to be India’s most expensive film.

Priya Anand feels that Kayamkulam Kochunni got much bigger with Mohanlal joining the cast. Set in the 19th century, the period drama will narrate the story of highway-thief Kayamkulam Kochunni and his Robin Hood-like adventures, played by Nivin Pauly.
